may I ask why? It looks like an attempt to clone QuizUp that went wrong (sorry). Was it a personal challenge?

  Hi! One of my first real apps I ever developed for Android (back in 2011) was an online trivia game very similar to the trivia games you see nowadays (asynchronous gameplay, 4 options per questions, 5 questions per turn, etc). When I look back to it, it was very weak at the technical level. I developed the Android client and the API while learning stuff at the same time. So, 4 years go by, and I decided to have another shot at it. So, in a sense, you're right, it did start off as a personal challenge to see just how much different the end product would be, given that I've now been working full time on Android for the past 4 years. But other than that, it's actually quite different than QuizUp since this game is real-time and seems to have steered heavily away from what a normal trivia game is like. With their latest releases, they've sort of created a sort of massive social network around the questions/answers genre. I wanted to make an app that went back to the basics. Something you can use here and there while killing time..open the app, have fun answering a few questions, and done.
